Latvian rocker Miks Galvanovskis has unveiled his latest single, “Skumjas Glāzē” (translated as “Tears in a Glass”), marking another deeply personal addition to his discography. The song premiered during the second GAMMA music industry awards ceremony on March 5th in Riga, at the “Xiaomi Arēna,” and is now available on YouTube, with wider streaming availability expected soon.
Galvanovskis describes “Skumjas Glāzē” as a raw and honest reflection of his life, continuing a trend of vulnerability in his songwriting. “The song ‘Skumjas glāzē’ once again reflects my life without pretense,” he stated, according to reporting from Delfi. “Often it’s not easy, often it’s too elegant. This song is about my existence, which is busier than loneliness and lonelier than abundance.”
The creation of “Skumjas Glāzē” involved Galvanovskis’ core band members: Kristens Kupčs, Mārcis Briška, Jānis Narbuts, Reinis Briģis, and Liepāja rock legend Roberts Dinters. The music video was directed by Elvis Lācis, with video projections created by Arvis Rode. You can watch the music video on YouTube.

2025 proved to be a successful year for Galvanovskis, with his album “Tā mana dzīve” (That’s My Life) resonating with audiences.

The momentum continues into 2026, with the release of “Skumjas Glāzē” and upcoming concerts scheduled at Palladium Riga on March 20th and 21st.
